From Derek Benner with the NAEB buying club:
We‘re now ready to start the order process for the next 100 units. So please take the time to place an order today! Just go to our store and place your order. You can choose to pay by check or by credit card. We won’t bill your credit card until we actually receive the units.

Thanks for noting the stat, Cerebus. The interesting issue here is how well NAEB is doing compared to direct sales from Bookeen, which, as you know, reportedly has been selling out. I can see advantages and disadvantages of both buying routes. See previous info on the math for European buyers. – David (who was excerpting from a note to NAEB buyers, as opposed to responding to a squeaky wheel)
Sigh, “One Turk Against the World” has hacked and defaced the NAEB storefront.
Wow, I’m assuming the transactional data is safe. Yet another PHP application offers its keys to hackers.
